An InquisItive American.

An American, sight seeing in
Europe, gives his mind TO his work,

where Baron Rothschild is building.
He went TO sec It, and was fortunate
enough TO meet the master builder,
who showed him over the building.
After he had finished the inspection,
he addressed portly old gentleman,

man bowed politely, without speak

I'm a stranger" the American
continued, thinking he might be
speaking 20 the contractor; "I'vc
been looking over this building,

information"

the American many interesting facts
about the building,

ill he had shelled out a pile Of his

The American ratified on, and the
old gentleman laughed heartily.
When there wa a pause he remark

The old mans face grew black,
and be bil his lip, but said nothing.
People tell me- continued The
American, "that the Rothschilds
have made two fortunes. Now. I'd
like TO learn the way the thing was
done"
'I can tell YOU" replied the old
man, smiling People say thc house
OF Rothsch.ld made one fortune by
being careful to mind their own

When Men Fail

Few men come up to their high.
est measure of success. Some fail
through timidity, or lack of nerve,
They are unwilling to take the
risks incident to life, and fail
through fear in venturing on ordi.
nary duties. They lack pluck
Others fail through irnprudence
lack of discretion, care or sound
judgment. They overestimate the
future, and build air castles and
venture beyond their depth fail and
fall. Others, again, fail through
lack of application and persever-
ance. They begin with good re-
solves, but soon get tired Of that
and want change, thinking they
can do much better at something
else. Thus they fritter life away
and succeed at nothing. Others
waste time and money and fail for
wa int of economy. Many fail through
ruinous habits; tobacco, whiskey
and beer spoil them for business,
drive their best customers from
them and scatter their prospects ol
success. Some fail for want o.
brains, education and fitness fol
their calling; they lack a knowledge
of fhuman nature and of the motives
that actuate men. They have moi
qualified themselves for their ec.
cupation by practical education.
